BCQ 122 - Richmond Hill from Pinner

This is the first of a series of British Cycle Quest rides around London. British Cycle Quest is a CyclingUK challenge to find checkpoints across England, Wales and Scotland - details on https://www.cyclinguk.org/british-cycle-quest. You can find the clues with friends or in your own time - it's up to you! We shall be finding the answer to the question on Richmond Hill, as well as enjoying the views, parks and quiet streets of SW London. A short stretch of the ride is along the Brent River navigation. There are some hills to climb but we shall take it steadily and always wait for everyone.

Bring water, card for the cafe and a good strong bike lock as we shall be securing our bikes on racks for the cafe stop. Also please bring a snack for the way back to maintain your energy levels. Hybrid bikes are best for this ride as there are some bumpy tracks along the Thames.
